AMS Pools is Hiring Lifeguards for Summer 2025!

Summer is calling, and so is your best job yet! Picture this: getting paid to hang out poolside, soak up the sun, and be the hero who keeps swimmers safe. Whether you're looking for a solid summer gig or just a reason to be outdoors all season long, AMS Pools has a lifeguard spot with your name on it!

Pay rate: Starting at $15 to $17.50! (Final compensation is based on factors such as skills, qualifications, experience & business needs)

What’s in it for you?

Competitive pay & annual raises for returning guards!
A tan that even vacationers will envy
Flexible scheduling—work when it fits your summer plans
The chance to be part of a fun, energetic team or rock out solo at a single-guard pool!
Mileage compensation available for traveling guards!
Lifeguarding opportunities beyond the summer season!

What you’ll be doing:

  • Keeping swimmers safe while rocking those shades
  • Enforcing pool rules (so no full sprint-front flip-cannonballs into the pool!)
  • Performing effective rescues and first aid when needed
  • Maintaining a clean and safe pool environment
  • Monitoring & reporting pool chemistry to our dedicated Technician team!
  • Staying alert and proactive while on stand

Most pools open Memorial Day weekend and close on Labor Day, however, spots are available before and after the season. Looking for more than just a summer job? Ask about winter lifeguarding opportunities!
